You need someone to listen?
I’ve got an ear.
You need to cry?
I’ve got a shoulder.
You have a problem?
I may have a solution.
I am the one everyone turns to when they are in need.
I listen, I comfort, I advise.
But what happens when the person you lean on the most begins to fall?
To crumble under the weight of your problems and her own?
What happens when there is no one to listen to the leaning post?
To hold her when she needs to cry?
To advise her when she has her own problems?
She becomes distant, removed, unstable.
The leaning post must stay strong for others
But when the leaning post becomes so loaded down
That she can no longer support herself
How can you expect her to support others?
